Van Dhan Vikas Kendra empowers tribal communities to increase their income by processing and selling forest products like honey, herbs, and spices at higher prices. The scheme provides working capital of up to ₹15 lakh per cluster group along with training in product processing, packaging, and marketing. Tribal gatherers are organized into groups and supported to transform raw forest products into branded, value-added products that fetch better prices in the market.
